This huge candy store usually brings in its costumers attracted to its endless supply of every candy you dream of. However, hidden inside is the restaurant that serves some of the best ice cream you can have while strolling along down Michigan Avenue.

3. Ghirardelli Chocolate

Located right across from the Water Tower, not only do they have chocolate to die for, they have the best sundaes ever. So after you're done shopping through the Water Tower, I suggest a stop in Ghirardelli Chocolate and enjoy yourself.

Located right in Lincoln Park, this place is great. This little place has tonsof flavors that will keep you coming back for more.

5. Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams

Located on the Northside, this place has unreal sundaes with the best toppings. Trust me, you will leave very satisfied.

8. Bobtail Ice Cream

Right on North Broadway Street, Bobtail has some of the best homemade ice cream along with some great specialty flavors.

9. Paciugo Chicago Broadway

Also on North Broadway, Paciugo Chicago serves some of the best gelato and frappes. Some come in especially when they need a coffee fix!

10. Lickity Split Frozen Custard & Sweets

Come in for some great frozen custard at Lickity. Not only do they have frozen custard, they also serve retro candy and great pastries.

11. Windy City Sweets

Another great place located on N Broadway, a classic candy store filled with colorful confections, plus homemade fudge, ice cream, and gift baskets.

12. Margie's Candies

If you're willing to take a little drive, head over to Margie's and I'm sure you will never want to leave!

So yes, Chicago offers endless summer activities, but it also offers some of the best ice cream places around. These will be worth your while. Take the time to enjoy your sundae on a hot summer day!

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
